Open Stack

All,

I reviewed and tried out the 2015.04 list of required tests [0]. All tests
work fine for me, with one exception: there are four tests in the list
specific to the compute feature "resize".

The current implementation of resize in nova libvirt driver uses ssh to
transfer volumes in case of non-shared storage. This requires password-less
ssh access between all compute nodes in the cloud.

Resize is disabled by default in the HP Helion OpenStack distribution,
because of the security concerns associated with having password-less ssh
access between most nodes in the cloud.

There is a blueprint [1] open to address the issue, but until that's
implemented I would like to suggest for the resize tests to be added to the
flagged list.

I added an item to the agenda [2] of tomorrow's meeting at 9am to discuss
about this, but I wanted to reach out to the DL prior to that to possibly
reach a wider audience and provide some background before the meeting.
